The Music of the Earth

So a friend of mine, Janus sunaJ (who happens to be quite a scholar of mysticism, particularly gnosticism & hermeticism), asked me to make him a mix of «armenian, sufi qawalli, persian, malian, balkan & morrocan music». i’ve been tinkering on it this past week and of course added in some other cultures… some tuvan, romani, indian, andalusian, egyptian, kenyan, japanese, native american, etc…

it’s become a sprawling 5+ hour mix of beautiful music from around the globe, loosely based around a concept of an initiatory meditation journey. i had quite a lot of fun with it. i hope you enjoy listening as much as i did. each «disc» is approx 75 minutes long. i recommend downloading all 4 and listening to them in order (accompanied by your favorite person & favorite sacrament!)

there is a bonus disc of 100% sufi music that i felt worked better as a stand-alone mix rather than part of this series…it’s called «the lover is breathing»… it is available by request only. comment or email me for a link…
